Northeastern University Seeking Artist Submissions for Visual Music Marathon

(1–9-07) BOSTON, Mass. — North­eastern Uni­ver­sity is accepting sub­mis­sions for the Visual Music Marathon, a 10-​​hour showing of works that reflect the con­ver­gence of musical com­po­si­tion and moving images. Artists seeking to submit works can visit www​.music​.neu​.edu/​vmm, or call 617–373-2671. The dead­line for sub­mis­sions is Jan­uary 22.

The Marathon will be held on Sat­urday, April 28 from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. as part of the Boston Cyber­arts Fes­tival, in the University’s Raytheon Amphithe­ater. Approx­i­mately thirty min­utes of footage from this event will be selected for national cable­cast on the Har­mony Channel’s Mood Zones, avail­able to sub­scribers of dig­ital cable on the Com­cast network.

North­eastern Uni­ver­sity pro­fessor Dennis Miller, the event’s curator and director, describes visual music as “fine art, ani­ma­tion, video, or film, in which the visual ele­ments are informed by musical processes.”

It is one of two major events spon­sored by the Mul­ti­media Studies Pro­gram that will be held during the Boston Cyber­arts Fes­tival. For more infor­ma­tion, please visit www​.mmstudies​.neu​.edu.
